A London-based socialite and high profile Akalite, Miss ObyEzeigbo, has called on Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to put aside tribal, religious and sectional sentiments ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying competence and character should determine the next president of the country. In a statement made available to Umuaka Times on Tuesday last week, Miss Ezeigbo threw her weight behind former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, describing him as the leader Nigeria needs to move \u201cfrom consumption to production.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to her, Nigeria\u2019s current challenges require a leader with a proven record of prudence, accountability and people-centered governance.<\/p>\n
\u201c2027 is not about tribe or church or mosque. It is about our children\u2019s future. We must jettison tribalism, religion and lies and vote for competence,\u201d she disclosed in the press statement to Umuaka Times correspondents in London.<\/p>\n
In her critical assessment, Ezeigbo described Peter Obi as a man of honour who represents a new Nigeria. A Nigeria where every naira must work. A Nigeria that invests in education, health, and in the small businesses that employ our youths.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the press statement, Miss Ezeigbo outlined what she called Obi\u2019s marketable edge over other contenders: 1. Economic Discipline: \u201cFrom cutting the cost of governance to supporting MSMEs, Obi\u2019s message of production over consumption is what will create jobs and grow our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miss Ezeigbo urged Nigerians in the UK, US, Canada, Asia and across Africa to mobilize and sensitize voters ahead of 2027 to ensure that Peter Obi wins the election.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe slogan must be simple: Production Not Consumption. The Possible Nigeria. It is possible if we vote with our conscience and not with sentiment,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
She concluded by calling on media organizations and community leaders to prioritize issue-based campaigns over propaganda.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us reject lies. Let us reject division. Let us vote for the Nigeria we all dream of,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
